Yellowstone's Dynamic History Field Trip

Description

Spend the day with MSU's Regents Professor Emerita Cathy Whitlock and view first-hand the forces of nature that have shaped our nation's iconic first national park. Your classroom learning will come to life as we explore volcanism, glaciation, the shifting Yellowstone hot spot, consequences of past ice ages and climate change throughout the central and northern portions of the park. The legacy of these powerful influences has created the present-day ecosystem and will prove important for this iconic region far into the future.

Travel will be via coach bus to and from Bozeman (restroom on board) and a hearty field lunch, beverages and snacks are included. The fieldtrip will include frequent stops, getting on and off the bus, and walking on paved and unpaved, uneven ground.

Group travel on the bus is required; no personal vehicles permitted.
